About Andre van Rensburg

We live in Dubai, and whilst on holiday in Cyprus last year, fell in love with the laid back, tranquil and easy going life style of the Argaka area on the Southern part of the Island. We found our dream home on top of a hill overlooking the Akamas peninsula. The villa is fully detached, spacious and open with a fantastic entertainment area, massive pool, and ample space for relaxing. The beach is a mere 10 minute stroll away, and the Latchi harbour and Akamas National Park also in close proxmimity provide a truly mediterranean experience that is unforgettable. The house has been totally redecorated and furnished to provide an aesthetically pleasing holiday experience...we are sure you will enjoy the experience!

Andre van Rensburg purchased this villa in 2010

Why Andre van Rensburg chose Paphos region

Situated at the top of a hill, surrounded by orange, lemon and Olive groves, our villa is totally private with stunning sea views from each room. The villa is detached,spacious and open, comprising of 3 large bedrooms, all en suite, a 10mx5m swimming pool, opening up from the living room and the kitchen. Each bedroom has it's own private balcony. We have carefully redecorated the villa to ensure a home away from home feel, with carefully selected items, to provide a calm, open feel to the place. There is also an outside bbq, shower and kiosk, as well as a wooden deck with loungers and large parasols. The house has private parking, fly screens throughout and air-conditioners in each room. 10 minutes walk through the groves takes you to the long rambling beachfront of the med.

What makes this villa unique

Walk to the beach, hire a boat at Latchi harbour and explore the Akamas peninsula, snorkelling, relaxing and stopping off at the various coves and crannies. Visit the quant Square in Polis and enjoy a relaxinig meal under the awnings. Take a walk down one of the spectacular nature trails in the Akamas National Park. Paphos area also has 3 world class golf courses (Tsada, Secret Valley, and Aphrodite Hills). Enjoy a laid back dinner on the beach at one of the many restaurants along the beach along the tranquil Argaka coastline.....

Great location, super villa!

Enjoyed two relaxing weeks at Villa Athina. Peaceful location, but with plenty of options for shopping and sightseeing in the area. Great local produce, particularly many options for fresh bread/pastries in the numerous bakeries. Splendid view of the coastline with spectacular sunsets. Villa all as described and owner efficient and pleasant to deal with. Pool area was private, not overlooked with options for both sun and shade throughout the day. Outside dining table and BBQ ideal and bedrooms all ensuite which is super for larger groups. Plenty of options for daytrips by car and bike hire from Savvas shop in Polis allowed us to enjoy rides along the coast road, to the local monastery ruins and to swim in the sea from the pier. Good selection of boat trips from Latchi, just a few miles away and would recommend a visit to Aphrodite's Rock brewery which you'll pass on the main road from Paphos to Polis. Nominate a non-drinking driver and try a 'paddle' of their ales followed by stocking up in their shop!

Quiet location overlooking sea

The Villa was a nice size for a large family group. Equipment and furnishing were excellent. Outdoors there was the lovely pool with a good shallow to deep layout with expansive views of the sea. The sunsets were fantastic. The location was quiet and quite rural but still only a short drive from Polis.

Argaka is a beautiful and unspoilt village on the west coast of Paphos with many deserted beaches and orchards. With its laidback atmosphere you will find a number of restaurants dotted along the coastline. Polis is the nearest town which hosts a number of cafes, tavernas and restaurants huddled around a pedestrianised square, and only a 10 minute drive. A few minutes further is the seaside resort of Latchi. Here you will find an array of sea-front tavernas serving freshly caught fish.

Further Details:

Polis is the principal town for the region, huddled around a pedestrianised square where visitors and locals gather in the mornings to enjoy a coffee and watch the world pass by and in the evenings to dine at one of the wide selection of restaurants, tavernas and cafes which radiate out from the centre. The town has an archaeological museum and cultural centre. Moving away from the coastal areas to venture a little further inland, you can explore some of the villages off the beaten track where you'll discover such delights as village cultural centres and museums, galleries, churches and wineries with free wine tasting!
